MBot Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I wondered if the Ka-50 version modeled has any usefull night attack ability. As the NVG will be modeled, it seems the Ka-50 is indtended to operate at night. So is the Shkval TV sight capable of operating at night in good lighting conditions ? If not, does the NVGs offer good enough resolution to make out targets by eye and conduct unguided attacks with rockets and guns ?
diveplane Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Shkval TV sight is totally useless at night, its the same unit as the su25ts https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
GGTharos Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 diverplane is on the money. The NVG's are just for transiting at night. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Weta43 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 So at night you get a friendly Su-25 to drop a couple of candle bombs????? Cheers.

dynamocl Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 We could have a go at strapping the Mercury pod on it.
S77th-konkussion Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I was about to ask if there was a Merc-type device for it. Seems it would have to be lighter for chopper use. [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
diveplane Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 on the subject of night time in lockon .... just did a a10 night refuel mission, boy it was tricky, i slewed the ir mavrick over to the boom to see it in the dark . does the boom not have a light on it or the a10s refuel hatch ? so we can see the boom in the dark ? think the real russian su33 also has a light on it to see the chute at night .... ....would be nice to have somthing like this for night time gassin up.... https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
MBot Posted July 2, 2006 Author Posted July 2, 2006 Ok, thanks for the answer guys. The Shkval being a TV sight, do you think that it could operate at night in real life ? Perhaps in a clear night with full moon there is enough contrast to actualy use it ? I wonder what the reasons where to fit an attack helicopter with NVGs ( and paint the 'Black Shark' black ) if it isn't capable of operating at night ( apart from transits ).
